OK...I'm impressed!

Who else other than Banksy could buy a painting from a thrift store in NYC for $50...add a German officer to it...donate it back to the thrift store...and see this happen? Good for the charity!

So? Let me make sure I understand this. He bought the painting then added the officer to the painting?
This is crazy.
Definitely great for the charity.

It's a bloody brilliant adaptation of an otherwise average painting.

He's an odd character alright. Good for him though.
Take every price I say with a grain of salt...
